Strictly's Shayne Ward put his wedding to soap star fiancée on hold to appear on BBC show


Strictly Come Dancing star Shayne Ward revealed that his wedding plans with fiancée, former Hollyoaks actress, Sophie Austin have been postponed so he can appear on the show

The former Coronation Street star and The X Factor winner and his partner Sophie Austin - who are parents to Willow, eight, and two-year-old Reign - had been planning to tie the knot later this year, but have now postponed their nuptials after he was approached to take part in the "incredible" dance contest. He revealed he had a knock after receiving criticism online as some viewers thought he was “over confident”, when in fact he felt “terrified” before the performance. On Saturday night, he returned with a striking tango with his partner Nancy Xu to The Door by Teddy Swims, which landed him a score of 31 and also brought his overall total to 52.
